Enjoyable...Truly enjoyed these 3 days - From Christmas Eve to Boxing Day.

Christmas Eve :

Arrived Hong Kong in the late evening and by the time we arrived at our hotel in TST, it was almost 2330 hrs...just half an hour before Christmas. This was due to the closure of roads around our hotel to make way for the celebration. People were everywhere. The Police were trying their best to control the crowd. In certain areas, you may even need about 15-25 minutes just to walk less than 30 metres. That's how crowded it was. Anyway, instead of counting down with the crowd, the last few seconds or minutes before the clock strike twelve were spent slurping down the QQ wanton noodles and gulping my favourite Honey Lemon at the joint near the hotel. Wanton Noodles - that's what I missed on my last HK trip. Feeling very satisfied after the last strand of noodle entered my mouth. Simply awesome. Yea...That's how I spent my Christmas Eve. Awww.....

Christmas Day :

Met up with some of the 19/01 peeps for a simple Christmas dinner at Billy Bombers in Central.
Almost everyone was late including myself. Felt sorry for CY who was the earliest and I guess the most punctual. Well, who to blame but the NEL. Not sure what happened to the trains but it made a 8-10 minutes stop for almost every station. Kind of irritating and pissed off especially when you are rushing.

Geri's and SD's Honey Stung Chicken...Looks nice right. Drool

My Chix n Ribs....Serving was huge and I can't finish. Good exercise for the mouth too. Hahaha. Worth it.

Kind of enjoy Billy Bomber's food. Not only was the serving big, the food taste nice too. Oh my Christmas present from them : A S$28 discount on my next Billy Bomber meal as well as a S$15 Hip Diner USA voucher. Hohohoho... To Geri : Should you win the grand prize, remember our shares eh....hahahahah.

After much discussion on where to go next, we finally agreed upon Dempsey Hills for our gift exchange and chilling out session. A virgin trip for all of us except WW and JY. Have been hearing a lot about Dempsey and wanting to visit there, but I haven't got a chance. Am really glad that this time I managed to visit that place and with such a good company.

Must thank WW for showing us around Dempsey Hill. Lots of cafes, bars and restaurants. A very nice place to hang out I must say. Love its ambience. Love its crowd. Love its location. Initially, I thought that Dempsey Hill is quite inaccessible and without a car, it can be quite a hassle to get there. I was wrong though. Several bus services ply that route and it merely took us 15 minutes (slow stroll) from the bus stop to the top of Dempsey Hill where Ben & Jerry is.

The famous Dempsey Hill Fountain.

Christmas Tree @ Dempsey

From Left to Right : Geri, myself, CY, XK, JY, SD and WW @ Margaritas. Not too bad but would prefer Ooosh where there's liveband.

Cheers to all : Our Frozen Mango Margarita plus SD's Sunrise Punch.
Had our gift exchange. Gifts were decided by poker cards. Got my gift from Geri while XK got mine. Hahaha. I guess the most expensive gift was Shunde's...a Oat facial scrub and a bar of Black rice soap. Who's the lucky chap who got it then? None other than JY. Hahaha.

We Heart Dempsey Hill. Definitely be there again soon!

Boxing Day :

Had lotsa of fun and laughter at Mind's Cafe @ Purvis this afternoon with CY, SD and Geri.

1st Game :

Kind of fun and brain cracking.

2nd Game :

Huggy aka Shunde in Ca$h & Gun

3rd Game :

Row Row Row a boat...Let's hope that the boat will not capsize...

4th Game :

Who is the MURDERER ???

Case solved by SD : Mr Green is the murderer who used the rod as his weapon.

Last but not the least :

Our all-time favourite : SNORTA !!!!!
One one one, Moo Moo Moo, Croak Croak Croak, Mee Ni Meow (Sorry, I forgot about CY's cat sound)

Anyway, received my work schedule for next month and February. Am really glad that I will be around for CNY !!!! Jumping in joy!!!!! Do you know that I did not visit any friends or family members during CNY this year ? Am so glad that I will be able to for next year's CNY. It's time to plan for some CNY gathering...yay.

One more thing to share : Having really sufficient rest and sleep is the best cure for flu. That day I had about 16 hours of sleep and when I woke up, my flu was gone and I was cured !!!

IPPT tomorrow with KY & TT. Let's hope that I can pass...*cross my fingers* and a exam on Fri and Mon. Stressed....
